Stordal

How are you enjoying the journey so far? We’re now driving through the center of Stordal, the heart of the village, where mountain, river, and fjord come together. Stordal has long been known as the furniture village, with strong craft traditions and an industry that has shaped local life for generations. Many Norwegian furniture designs have roots here, and today, manufacturing and design exist side by side with farming and smaller local businesses. At the same time, Stordal is a modern rural community, with a school, sports facilities, and an active cultural life. Here, past and future meet — rose-painted church walls on one side, modern production buildings on the other. It is a fine example of how small communities can preserve their traditions while continuing to develop.
